Chapter 9

“Why would I be angry? Jocelyn shrugged off his hand and turned to face him, “I already know everything he said.”

Melvin frowned, “Know what?”

“Our inability to part ways has nothing to do with love. So, I’m not angry.”

“Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one wanting to get hitched first,” Jocelyn said teasingly, her eyes brimming with spring and her face as lovely as a peach blossom.

Melvin really had a thing for her seductive charm, always able to snag his soul.

He toyed with her sensitive spot, watching the mistiness in her eyes, his throat working. “I’m never getting married in this lifetime. Swapping out women, now that’s a possibility.”

Jocelyn bit her lip, her voice sultry and soft, “How do you even have the audacity to say that?”
